The Trench reaches a population of 50,000+, landing every four months in over 250 high-traffic and select East Kootenay businesses — outdoor and retail shops, professional offices, restaurants, cafés, malls and the Canadian Rockies Airport. Plus we’re in-room at many hotels, motels and holiday rentals.

We can assuredly say almost every one of the 4,500 copies printed in time for your favourite season ends up somewhere real important — from bedsides to bar-tops to the back of the throne.

We’re read by anyone between 18 and 80 who hangs their hat anywhere in the Columbia, Creston or Elk Valleys — or folks who just come to play and kick back for a weekend or two.
